BigFoot Digital Footprint Mission

Humans have an innate need for trust. Therefore, we need privacy, control, and transparency in objects so intimately involved in our lives. Researchers are coming in to build this trust with users and algorithms because of the internet loops (users interact with the internet, the internet chases their behavior and customizes while the user engages with the new changes). Ultimately, we have to trust that these systems are good for us, and that they are good for society. We want to prevent anything which may lead to confusion or irritation or mistrust when it comes to our digital use.
